Plausibility of (large) continents on a world with hundreds of tectonic plates
+0
−0
Suppose an earth-like world with roughly 500 major tectonic plates.
Question
What is the plausibility of such a world to sustain (large) continents? Why?
Further clarifications:
- speed of plates: fast or truncated to earth-like, not too slow here
- number of major plates: 500, and assume no minor plates for simplicity
